0.4 same place, different fielder and different result! Another full ball outside off that Brown will feel was there to be hit. He goes through the line but cannot quite get under it. Thumps it flat and straight to Maxwell, who holds on after several bobbles, eventually pouching it somewhere between his legs. Stars on the board early! 6/1

3.3 six and out! JFM departs after yet another scratchy knock! Shortish just outside off. JFM, after the six last ball, tries to be cuter and shapes for the dab behind point. All he manages is a faint nick and Harper bends down low to complete a fairly regulation chance. Big spike on Snicko too, along with the audible noise, and the Stars have sent back both openers inside the powerplay! 19/2

8.4 knocks Seifert over after outwitting him completely! Zipped through very full on middle and off. Not sure if Usama Mir anticipated Seifert going for the reverse, but either way, it worked a charm. Too full to be playing that stroke and the ball sneaks under the bat, nutmegs Seifert and smashes into the stumps. Seifert is a picture of disappointment as he walks off; Usama Mir, anything but! 53/3

15.5 goes straight up, and there will be no BBL fifty for Bethell tonight! A change-up, bowled into the track and following Bethell outside leg. He looks to mow it over cow corner but the ball bounces more than he expects. Skews off the top edge and Harper does the rest. Paris points to Stoinis as soon as the catch is completed, indicating that this was a plan they hatched, and one that ultimately paid dividends! 124/4

17.1 Siddle gets the set batter! Dug into the track outside off and this seems like a bit of a change-up. Wells throws the kitchen sink at it but the lack of pace means he does not get the purchase he is after. Slices it straight to Paris at short third, and that could be a crucial wicket at this juncture! 135/5

19.2 holes out to deep mid wicket! A knee-high full toss on leg stump and on most days, Sutherland would have dumped it into the stands. Tonight, though, he does not quite get the extension of the arms he wants and picks out Maxwell on the fence. Siddle has two, and this has been a good start to the final over! 162/6

19.5 more chaos and this time, it leads to a run-out! Dug into the track on middle and off. Crone swings for the hills and misses. Evans calls him through for the bye (he was always going to), and Crone is well short as Harper's throw finds Siddle, who then does the rest at the bowler's end. Harper's throw, it must be said, was originally designed to get Evans out, but he could not hit bulls-eye! 164/7

1.1 bowled'im around his legs! Length ball that starts on middle stump and shapes back in a shade. Rogers walks across too early and then cuts himself off. Cannot access the ball at all, and it breezes past his pads before thundering into middle and leg. Sandhu with the early breakthrough the Renegades would have wanted! 1/1

15.4 Duckett bites the dust! The Power Surge brings the breakthrough! Plenty of credit to Sandhu as well. Bowls this into the track, asking Duckett to take on the longer leg-side boundary. He accepts the challenge but gets nowhere close to clearing it. A bit of a shank really and Bethell does the rest at deep mid wicket. An enterprising knock, but someone else will have to take the Stars to victory from here! 124/4

1.3 oh dear - that is a horrible mix-up! Fullish on the pads. Duckett flicks it away towards deep backward square leg. The second does not seem to be on but Harper still hares half-way down. By the time he gets sent back, it is too late. Bethell was sharp off the fence and got the throw right over the stumps. Harper might feel hard done by, given Duckett took a couple of steps before saying no. Either way, Harper has to walk back, and the Stars are two down early in the piece! 3/2

5.2 sliding down leg again, on a length. Lawrence seems to miss his flick but Seifert thinks there may be bat involved. In fact, he is so on-board with that idea that he talks his skipper into a review. In real-time, there wasn't a noise as such and the deflection (if any) might have been off the thigh pad. But hang on. Just hang on. Not for the first time this Australian summer, there are indecisive murmurs on Snicko. The spike is sharpest after the ball has just passed the bat, but the alignment of the frames is such that that spike could be the ball brushing the thigh pad too. Tough decision for the third umpire. He has multiple looks at it, and reckons that the ball has indeed scratched the blade. Lawrence cannot believe it, but he has to trudge back. Snicko in the eye of another storm! 41/3

16.1 Stoinis perishes too, and this game has been turned on its head! Seems like a change-up that is dug into the track. Stoinis looks to swipe it across the line but gets no power on it at all. Bethell, well inside the deep mid wicket fence, dives forward to pouch it and Stoinis is dejected as he storms off to the dugout! 127/5
